INVISION SERVICES, INC.
When
a person has low vision, sometimes the choices seem overwhelming when looking
for technology and training. Some providers are specialists, some are like a
big box store and others are only in it for the money.
Today
we are saluting a company with terrific people and a real sense of purpose:
Invision Services, Inc. They sum it up in their company mission:
As we serve
the needs of our clients,
we serve each other’s growth.
I
recommend Invision based on my own experience. A few weeks ago I published a
post my cane training [link].

Invision
Services [link] was founded by John Higgins in 1992. For more than two decades,
Invision has enhanced and enriched the lives of visually impaired students and
adults across the country.
Invision
puts extra emphasis on serving folks in North Carolina. In 1985 Higgins became
the first O&M Specialist to be hired by the North Carolina Public School System.
This assignment led Higgins to start Invision. Today, Higgins and his
team at Invision have an Orientation
& Mobility Specialist, a Teacher of
the Visually Impaired, a Low Vision
Specialist and a Certified
Braillist.
Invision
collaborates with schools to provide one-on-one instruction for their students.
Evaluations, consultation, IEP development, material production, and direct
instructional services help meet the needs of students.
Invision’s
adult clients are referred by ophthalmologists, eye centers, social workers,
and other sources, including family members. Adults can receive consultations,
evaluations, and direct services customized to meet client’s unique daily
living needs and goals.
NOW ON FACEBOOK
Invision’s
public service extends to its Facebook page [link].
One
of the things I like the most about Invision’s page is the “news ticker.” New
posts appear frequently with information about job opportunities in the vision
disability industry, the work of landmark programs such as the Perkins School
for the Blind and other providers they recommend.
